lazy-bash

This is lazy-bash. I made this because I was tired of using the long commands required to administer linux systems. It's designed to be modular and extensible, making it simple for customizations to streamline common tasks

Installation

Before using the installation script, make sure you have the following dependencies installed:

Dependencies

• curl: Used to download the customized .bashrc file from a GitHub raw link.
• neofetch: Displays system information when starting an interactive shell.
• iptables: Manages the netfilter firewall rules for IPv4.
• netstat: Displays network connections, routing tables, interface statistics, masquerade connections, and multicast memberships.
• gnuplot: Generates system load graphs for the last 5, 10, and 15 minutes.

Ensure these dependencies are installed using your system's package manager. For example, on a Debian-based system, you can install them using the following commands:

sudo apt-get install curl neofetch iptables net-tools gnuplot

New method:

• Ensure you are in your $HOME folder by typing cd and pressing return
• Verify your location by then typing pwd and pressing return. It should show your current directory as /home/<your_username>
• Then proceed to run the following command.

bash <(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tim0n3/lazy-bash/main/binfiles/setup.sh)

Old method

After ensuring that all dependencies are installed, you can use the provided installation script:

To install this customized .bashrc configuration, you can paste the following script in your terminal or run it from a file:

#!/bin/bash

function newbashrc() {
    # GitHub raw link to the file you want to append
    github_raw_link="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tim0n3/lazy-bash/main/bashrc"

    # Local path to the .bashrc file
    bashrc_path="$HOME/.bashrc"

    # Download the file from the GitHub raw link
    content=$(curl -sSL "$github_raw_link")

    # Check if the download was successful
    if [ -n "$content" ]; then
        # Append the contents to the .bashrc file
        echo -e "\n# Appended from $github_raw_link\n$content" >> "$bashrc_path"
        echo "Contents appended to $bashrc_path"
    else
        echo "Failed to download the file from $github_raw_link"
    fi
}

# Run the installation script
newbashrc

Feel free to customize the aliases, functions, and settings to suit your preferences and workflow.
